COVID 19 UPDATE 3/12/2020
Dear YIGN Family,
There has been a whirlwind of change since our last update regarding the virus. Unfortunately, there have been a number of confirmed cases in Great Neck, and others are being tested after exposure.
With a very heavy heart we will be closing all shul activities for this coming Shabbos. We made this decision after consulting with physicians, Rabbis and experts in the field and believe that it is the appropriate precautionary step during this pandemic. While there seems to be a lot of unknowns surrounding the transmission of the virus, one of the most agreed upon preventative tactics by experts is to avoid social gathering, and keeping “social distance” between each other.
Therefore, there will be no Shabbos services at all this weekend. This applies to Friday afternoon/night and all Shabbos day including Mincha/Maariv. Please do not come to shul at all over Shabbos. The closing applies to Sunday morning as well. On Sunday we will send out more information to address the week ahead.
We recommend that our members do not organize private minyanim in houses or other venues. We even discourage having company at Shabbos meals outside of family. Please respect that this is a decision being made amongst the community leadership and Rabbanim in Great Neck and across the tristate area in consultation with experts in the medical field. We strongly believe that this is something we need to do to help prevent the spread of disease and, literally, save lives.
We wish everyone a restful and peaceful Shabbos and will update you as soon more information becomes available. We will miss seeing everyone this Shabbos and hope Hashem protects us and returns us to our normal lives very soon.

President's Message
The Young Israel of Great Neck (YIGN) was established over 40 years ago through the efforts of six visionary families. What started out as their dream has resulted, after four decades of tremendous growth, in a large, thriving, modern orthodox congregation with over 250 family members, located at 236 Middle Neck Road in Great Neck. In addition to our beautiful main sanctuary, our state-of-the-art Justin Family Center contains a large Beit Midrash, several classrooms, as well as a full-sized gymnasium. Read more
